European Demand for Trotters. ‘

It is gratifying to note that not only,

are Americans taking or sending over
to Europe speculative consignments of
trotting horses or are acting as agents

on this side for markets already opened

up there, but that no sales of trotting
stock are now held at which there are
not one or more foreign buyers on the
qui vive for the best that is ofi'ered.

Only a few days ago one of the Ham-
burg liners sailed out Of the port of New
York with nearly twenty thousand dol-
lars’ worth of horses for Germany, and
avery large proportion of them were
trotting bred. At the recent auction
of trotters held at Parkville, L. I., the
top price was given by a French com-
missioner, who is buying trotters partly
on speculation and partly for orders
from horsemen of France and Russm,
who fully appreciate the value of our
srock for breeding, racing and road
purposes.

The Cuban Revolution.

The civiliz:d nations of the world can
no longer ignore the fact that the
rebellion in Cuba has reached the digni-
ty of revolution, and cannot be sup-
pressed by all the military power that
Spain-can command, From the day
the present rebellion started every
month has enlarged the area of Cuba
controlled by the insurgents, and to-
day there is but a single one of the
six provinces in which the insurgents
have not a military force. 'The province
of Havana, the smallest on the island,
is loyal to Spain. The province of
Pinar Del Rio, the extreme western
part of Cuba, and immediately adjoin~
ing the province of Havana, has but a
small band of rebels within it, and the
province of Matinzas, immediately east
of Havana, has also but small roving
bands of insurgents. In the three
large provinces east of Matanzas, em-
bracing more than two-thirds of the
entire area of the Island of Cuba, the
insurgents are in absolute control.

A republican provisional government
has been organized and all its various
departments established. There are
now 30,000 organized troops engaged in
rebellion, 'and they would doubtless
have cleared the Spi'nish from the en-
tire island if they could have obtained
ammunition and supplies. Of these
forces three armies commanded by
Gomez, Maceo and Tamayo consist of
fully 50,000 men each, and there are
nine other distinct commands in differ-
ent sections of the islands numbering
from 1,000 to 3,000 men. Today the
revolutionary troops exceed the num-
ber of troops of the Spanish Govern-
ment, and it would require certainly
three times the number of the insur-
gent forces to drive theni out of the
large provinces they now possess and
maintain Spanish rule.

The Cuban rebellion has now been in
progress for nearly two years, and
Splin has been losing every week since
the rebellion started. The war began
in the savagery of the barbarian, and
has so continued until it is to-day a blis-
tering stain upon the civilization of the
world. The time has come when the
civilized governments should unite in
according belligerent rights to the rev-
olutionists and maintaining them with
scrupulous fidelity. Not only should
the belligerent rights of insurgents be
recognized, but Spain should be halted
by the mandote of enlightened civiliza.
tion in the proclaimed policy of sum:
marily executing those who may be
captured and refuse Obedience to the
Spanish Government.

The near approach of the meeting of
the United States Congress warrants
the President in awaiting Congressional
action, but we doubt not that one of the
first act-3 of the new Congress will be to
declare in favor of belligerentrightsfor
the Cuban l't‘VUllltiOlllbl‘H, wuh an em-
phatic expression in favor of the inde-.
.pcndcnce of Cuba, inasmuch as Spain
Was the first power of all the nations of

lhc earth to recognize the Southern '

Confederacy during our late civil war.

Parlors to be Refurnlshecl.

Pioneer Hook and Ladder company
held a regular meeting last evening
and elected three new members. A
committee was appointed to investigate
and to devise some means for refurnish-
ing the parlors of the company and to
report at the next meeting of the com-

pany.

He Left Town.
Chief Bradley found Samuel McCul-
lough lying in a drunken stupor on
West avenue, yesterday afternoon. He
claimel this morning, in the Town
Court that he was on his way to New
York. Judge Hubbeli fined Lin $10
and gave him an hour’s liberty to go
after the money.

A Westpart eleven played a game of
foot ball with the Merrill College eleven
of Stamford yesterday afternoon, nil

Mlddletown Herald in Trouble.

Charles Deland of tho Middletown
Morning Herald is said to have left
town owing considerable money. The
employee garnisheed all the money due
from advertisers, but nearly all had
been collected, it is said, by Deland.

F. H.A1ford, the old proprietor of
the paper, is now in charge and it is
said to be uncertain whether the paper
will appear again or not. Deland had
been here seven weeks and had not
paid his help in that time.

Light Punishment.

Richard Powers appeared in the City
court at Waterbury, yesterday. He was
charged with beating his Wife and pull-
ing her about by the hair of her head.
He choked her until blood ran out of
her month. They have been married
seventeen years and his wife testified
that her brute of a husband had been
continuously beating her during that
time. Powers was fined $75 and costs.
It would have been a good thing, if in
the power of the Judge. seventy-live
lashes with a~cat-o’-nine-tails could have
been added, which latter punishment
Judge Cowell no doubt keenly regret-
ted he had not the power to order.

The Black Crook.

Manager Allen was unfortunate in
having booked the Black Crook compi—
ny for the Opera House. It was hard-
ly worth even the small patronage ac-
corded it. Aside from the horizmuai
bar performance by Lazelle and Ver-
non and thejuggling of DeHollis and
Valores, and perhaps the impersonations
of Louise Montrose, the show was no
good. Not only that, but the acts were
"out” and the ballet miserable. The
audience, however, patiently awaited
for the transformation scene, for
which the programme announced six
numbers, but again they were doomed
to disappointment. As the curtain
dropped and the audience left the hall
there was a look of disgust on their
faces that became a large sized hiss.

The Prince Case.

The case of the State vs. Theodore
Prince occupied the attention of Judge
Hubbell in the Town Court all yester-
day afternoon. Prince was charged
with non-support this Wife. Attorney
Walsh appeared for plaint'ff and Light
for defendant. Several witnesses were
examined, among the number being
one from Wilton who expressed a de
sire to shake hands with an honest man,
whereupon Attorney Walsh suggested
that he go outside and shake hands
with himself. The Judge found the
accused guilty and gave him the choice
of going to jail for ten days or paying
his wife :51 per week. He refused to
accept either and took an appeal to the
Common Pleas court, his mother fur-
nishing bonds for his appearance. _,

And She Went. ’

Among the recent applicants for help
at the Selectmen’s office was a woman
from Winnipauk, who with tears
streaming down her cheeks asked for
town aid. She said that her husband
had deserted her and their children,
and she sorely needed help. An inves-
tigation was made and it was found
that the woman was earning on an
average of $15011 week, owned 20 acres
ofland and a cow, and had a cellar
well stocked with vegetables. Her
tears were allowed to dry in her eyes
as they availed nothing in the way of
her getting help from the town. And
it is said that there are others.

‘A REGULAR lllNDSLlDE.

Democrats Defeated at; Nearly
Every Point in'the Great ,
Battle of the Polls.

Tammany Again in Power in New
York.

It‘was a clean Republican sweep yes-
terday from Elst to West, the only
notable victory gained by the Demo-
crats being in New York city where
Tammany downed the fusion county
ticket and again comes into power.
Amos J. Cummings, Tammany, is also
elected to Congress by 3,000 plurality.

NE‘N YORK STATE.

InNow York state the Republicans
had another tidal wave vote, with a
plurality running up toward 30,000.
The Legislature is overwhelmingly Re-
publican, and in the selection of local
officers in the cities and towns the Re-
publicans have a very great advantage.

MASSACHUSETTS.

In Massachusetts, Greenhalge (Rep),
for Governor, has an estimate plurality
of nearly 70.000, a gain of 5,000 over his
plurality last year, when Massachusetts
assisted so liberally in the Republican
sweep. -

NEW JERSEY.

New Jersey elects a Republican Gov-
ernor and a Republican Legislature.
The majority is not far from 10,000.

' PENNSYLVANIA.

Pennsylvania gives a Republican ma-
jority of 170,000 on the State ticket for
State Treasurer. The Republicans
carry Philadelphia on county offices by
l70,000.

MARYLAND.

Maryland goes Bepublican by a pin-
rality about 10,000. Baltimore is Re-
publican by-probably 3,000. The Leg-
islature 1s Republican on joint ballot,
insuring a Republican successor to Uni—
ted States Senator Gibson. Senator
German loses his own county, Howard,
by more than 500.

OHIQ.

The indications are that Bushnell,
Rep., has carried Ohio by more than
80,000 plurality. Gov. 'McKinley as-
serts that the figures will reach 100,000.
McKinley’s plurality two years ago
was 81,000. The Legislature, is over-
whelmingly Republican, thus ensuing
the election of a Republican to succeed
Calvin S. Brice in the United States
Senate.

MICHIGAN.

Mapor Pingree carries Detroit by 10,-
000 majority, an increase over his last
victory. He is the only man to be
elected Mayor of Detroit four times.

MISSISSIPPI.

Mississippi elects a democratic Go v-
ernor by 40,000. His only competitor
was a Populist.

VIRGINIA.

Virginia elected only a State Legis-
lature. The indications are that the
Democrats will ban: their usual ma-
jority.

IOWA.

The Republicans elect their State
ticket in Iowa by about the same ma-
jority as last year, when they carried
the State by 79,000 majority. The Re-
publican State Committee claims 75,
000 as the lowest plurality for Drake,
their candidate for Governor. The
Legislature will be overwhelmingly
Republican.

 

NEBRASKA.

In Nebraska the election was for one
Justice of the Supreme Court and two
. Regents of the State University. The
Republican candidates were tuccessfu
by substantial majorities.

 

KENTUCKY.

The Democrats claim that Hardin has
been elected Governor of Kentucky.
The Republicans claim with Equal fer-
vor that Bradley is elected Governor,
and it will probably require the official
count to determine who has been elect-
ed Governor.

UTAH.

Utah voted for Statehood, 9. Congress-
man, State officers, and a Legislature
which will elect two United States Sen-
ators. The returns are very meagre,
but'they indicate that Statehood has
been carried. The result on Congress-
man, State officers, and the Legislature
cannot be estimated from the few scat-
tering returns received up to the time
of going to press. -

ELECTION IN ANSONIA. ’
Erwin W. Webster (Dem.) was elect-
ed mayor over 0. H. l’ine (Rep) by
190 majority.
A. P. Kirkham (Rep.) was elected

majority.
The Democrats have a majority of
one on joint ballot in the common

council.

Alfred Preece taught Between two
_ Seciiuns of a Flask al the
iron Works.

Paitiently Arvaited His-Release.

Alfred Preece, a moulder employed
at the Norwalk Iron Works, met with
a serious accident yesterday afternoon.
He was assisting in placing the upper
half of a large flask which was suspend-
ed from a crane when .in some way it
broke‘loose and fell, pinning Preece by
the left leg to the lower half of the flask.

Fellow workmen as expeditiously as
possible set to work to remove the part
of the flask that was holding the poor
fellow down, be all the time courage~
ously watching the proceedings without
fainting, although suffering the most
orcrutiating pain. ,

In a short time, but What must have
seemed hours to the sufferer, he Was
released from the vise-like grip that
held him fast.

In the meantime a physician and the
ambulance had been summoned, and the
victim was taken to his home on Os-
borne avenue, where Drs A. Fl. Bald-
win, of this city, and H. C. Sherer, of
South Norwalk, made an examination.

They found. that Preece had sus-
tained a fracture of the left thigh,
which they reduced, and- the patient is
reported as getting along nicely. But
it will be some weeks before he can
again return to work. Had Preece’s
body been a little farther under the
two sections of the flask, he would have
been instantly killed.’

Printers Strike.

For some time past the Danbury Dis-
patch has carried the union label of
the Bridgeport Typographical Union
at the head of its editorial column, and
has done good. work in the cause of
trades union. The label did not appear
as usual yesterday. and the Dispatch
explains its absence by announcing
that four of its compositors had become
"miffed” at the discharge of the job
printer, for good and sufficient reasons,
and had gone on strike. The composi-
tors express themselves as being will-
ing to return to work if the discharged
"comp” is reinstated. To this request
the proprietors refuse to accede, and
the situation is altogether unpleasant.
The owners are confident that despite
the efforts of the “strikers,” they will
soon have an eflicient corps 'of composi-
tors at work.

Has Tried it Before.

Selectman Selleck remarked to a GA-
ZETTE representative this morning, that
fourteen years ago when he was a mem-
ber of the board, Landlord Gehebe of
the Smith street tramp station, one day
reported that he had the night before
housed over fifty tramps in the one
room partitioned ofl" for that purpose.
Mr. Selleck said that he then ordered
the stove taken out of the room, and
that after a lapse of ten days not a sin-
gle application was made fOr lodging.
He believes that a plan that worked
to advantage then will have a salu-
tary effect it applied at the present
time. Anyway, he proposes giving it a
thorough trial as a means of ridding
the town ofthe gentry known as tramps.

BROOKSVILLE, Ky., Nov. 6.-——James Lee
shot and fatally wounded Dan Shepard
about two miles from Brooksville. The
shooting was the result of a quarrel be-

companied by the town marshal, went to
Lee’s home to arrest him. Lee’s mothci
met Pope at the door and informed him
that James was at home, but must not be
arrested. The sheriff threatened to break

his throat, when the door suddenly open-
ed and a man who, the officers thought,
was James Lee, appeared with an ax in
his hands. Pope opened fire on him, kill-
ing him instantly. It was then discovered
that Pope had killed Leonard Lee, a
brother of James, by mistake.

BRAVE EDDIE HOLMES.

He at Risk of His Life and Limbs
Stops a Runaway Horse on
.Main Street.

The Owner of the Horse Severely
Bruised. ‘

There was one of the liveliest runa-
ways of the season in this city early
this morning, in which the horse made
rapid progrezs over and through several
streets. The horse belongs to Adams

,Bros. the Wall street marketmen.

Elbert S. Adams, in company with
his brother, Arthur R. Adams, were
driving through Wall street- to the
market. When in front of the Masonic
building the hold-back strap of the bar-
ness broke and the horse began to run.
Elbert Adams, who was driving, pulled
up quickly On the lines, with the result
that both reins parted close to the‘bit.

Seeing that it was impossible to stop
the horse, both men jumped out. Ar-
thur cleared the wagon and escaped
injury, aside from it pretty thorough
shaking up. - Elbert did not fare so
well, one of the wheels passing over his
head, severely bruising it, and another
going ovcohis body near the hip, caus-
ing a contusion, beside fuming him con-
siderably. Both were able to proceed
to the market without assi.tance,but.
are feeling pretty sore this afternoon.
That they both escaped serious injury
is remarkable.

The horse continued its mad flight
down Wall street, to West avenue, up
Arch street to Franklin avenue, to Un-
ion Park, to Mott avenue, back to Wall
street, through which he dashed, threat-
ening destruction to pedestrians and vs—
hicles. Reaching Main he kept on his
mad pace up that street. 5

As he neared Bates’ grocery “Eddie”
Holmes, a clerk employed at the store,
saw him and ran out, but being unable
to head the runaway ofi", managed to
catch hold of the end-board of the wag-
on, and in so doing was nearly thrown
from his feet, but he pluckily held on
and managed to get into the wagon.
In some way he crawled to the dash-
board, and then discovered that there
were no reins.

This, however, to use a slang ex-
pression, “out no ice” with Eddie,» and
he crawled over the dash and on to the
horse’s back, but was even then unable
to reach the portion of the reins left on
the bit, Seeing a street car approach-
ing and fearing a collision, he coolly
worked his ‘way back and to the back
end of the wagon, as he says, for the
purpose of dropping off should the
horse and car collide. *

There was no collision, and as the
horse seemed to be somewhat winded
going up the hill near Attorney Hurl-
butt’s residence, young Holmes again
worked his way to the front of the
wagon and on to the shafts, and jump-
ing off ran ahead and succeeded in
grabbing the horse by the bit and step-
ping the runaway.

He then turned the animal’s head,and

ordinary, led the animal back to its
owner.

His action in stopping the runaway
had preceeled him and he was on his
return treated to a shower of congratu-
lrtions for his bravery.

Young Holmes modestly explains his
action by saying, “Mr. Adams once
stopped a runaway horse for me and I
then made up my mind to nturn the
favor if ever I got a chance. This was
my chance. That‘s all there is to it.”

Wonderfully enough the runaway
collided with no teams Over the entire
ronte covered, although the stree's
were lined with Vehicles of all descrip-
tions. .

TANNBRIES CLOSE.

The Price of Shoes Will Probably Go Up
' Before Very Long.

NEW YORK,_Nov. 6.—-It is probable that
within the next few months the price of
shoes will go up again, as it did last suini
mer, but the prospective advance will be
for a different reason. Last summer’s ad
vance was said to be due to the scarcity of
cattle and hides.

Under instructions from the United
States Leather company, 28 Ferry street,
.100 tanneries have been ordered to shut
down. All hides going into the vats will
have to remain there for two months at
least. This involves the stoppage of Work
by about 15,000 men.

The principal members of the combine.
tion known as the United States Leather
company are Barnes & Merritt. P. C. Cos-
tello & CO., Henley &. 00., Lee & Co.,
Bullard & Co., Fayerweather & Ladew,
H. G. Lopham & 00., Hall 8.3 Vaughan,
gét. Plum &. Co., Hoyt Bros. and Tubby

o. -

At the Offices of one firm, Rossbach 8:.
Co.,opposite the offices of the United States
Leather company, one of the clerks in.
formed a reporter that he believed that
most of the tanneries had been ordered to

shut down for 60 days, beginning today.

The cause of the stoppage of the output
of leather is said to be due to the fall in
price of Leather company stock, which is
now quoted at 71%, the price bid on the
Stock Exchange at the closing yesterday,
as against 90 not very long ago.

Keck, Mosser &. Co. of 39 Frankfort
street and Kistler, Lesh & Co. of Boston
some time ago began to cut prices below
the quotations of the United States com~
parry, but it is said that those two opposi-
tion firms have about sold out their stocks.

The principal tanneries in the country
affected by the shut down are in the hem-
lock and oak forests of Pennsylvania, New
York, Ohio, Virginia, West , Virginia,
Maryland, Tennessee, the Carolinas and
Indiana. , .

A dealer in the “Swamp” said today
that the price of leather would probably
take an immediate advance and might go
up to 45, as it did in 1879. It is now 32
and under, but if the price reaches 45 it
will mean an increase of 25 cents on each
shoe. However, the consumer is not like-
]y to be affected for some months yet, as
it takes time to cure hides and set them
into the hands of the manufacturers.

Hood’s Sarsapariiia Demonstrates
Its Merits.

A scrofulous or catarrhal condition
of the intestines is often the prime
cause of chronic diarrhoea, and when
the tissues are built up and healed by
the pure blood made by Hood’s Sarsa—
parilla, a cure is effected. Read this:

“ I believe it my duty to tell what bene-
fit I have received from Hood’s Saran a-
rilla. I was afflicted with chronic d ar-
rhcea for four years, and .

Severe Pains In the lack

of my head and also inm side. I was
treated by two leading p ysicians but
found no relief. I was advised by friends

 

to try Hood’s Sarsaparilla. I commenced
taking the medicine last Ma and have
taken over seven bottles. I ound relief
after taking the first bottle and now feel
better than I have for years.” WILLIAM
M. WILSON, Pullman, West Virginia.

Hood’s Pllls are the best. after-dime:
